Acts 16
1 And he came to Derbe and Lystra; and lo! a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a believing Jewess, but whose father was a Greek;
Na ka tae atu hoki ia ki Rerepe, ki Raihitara: a, i reira tetahi akonga, ko Timoti te ingoa, he tama na tetahi wahine whakapono, he Hurai, ko tona papa ia he Kariki.
2 who was well a spoken of by the brethren in Lystra and Iconium.
He pai te korero mona a nga teina i Raihitara, i Ikoniuma.
3 Him Paul wished to go forth with him, and took and circumcised him on account of the Jews who were in those places; for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
I mea a Paora kia haere ia hei hoa mona; a tangohia ana ia, kotia ana, he mea hoki mo nga Hurai e noho ana i aua wahi: i matau hoki ratou katoa he kariki tona papa.
4 And as they journeyed through the cities, they delivered to them for their observance the decrees which had been ordained by the apostles and elders that were at Jerusalem.
A, i a ratou e haereere ana i nga pa, ka tukua e ratou hei pupuri ma ratou nga tikanga i whakaritea e nga apotoro, e nga kaumatua, i Hiruharama.
5 The churches therefore were established in the faith, and increased in number daily.
Na ka whakaukia nga hahi ki te whakapono, ka nui haere hoki i tenei ra, i tenei ra.
6 And having gone through Phrygia and the Galatian country, on being forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia,
Na haere ana ratou na waenganui o te whenua o Pirikia, o Karatia, kua araia hoki e te Wairua Tapu kei korero i te kupu ki Ahia;
7 they came to Mysia, and were attempting to go into Bithynia; but the Spirit of Jesus did not permit them.
A, i te taenga atu ki Maihia, ka whakamatau ratou ki te haere ki Pitinia; heoi kihai i tukua e te Wairua o Ihu;
8 And passing by Mysia, they came to Troas.
Na kapea ana Maihia, ka haere ki Toroa.
9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night. There stood a man of Macedonia beseeching him and saying, Come over into Macedonia and help us.
A ka kitea e Paora he kitenga i te po: He tangata no Makeronia e tu ana, e tohe ana ki a ia, e mea ana, Whiti mai ki Makeronia, awhinatia matou.
10 And when he had seen the vision, we immediately endeavored to go into Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to publish the glad tidings to them.
A, no ka kitea te kitenga, ka mea tonu matou kia haere ki Makeronia, i whakaaro hoki, na te Atua matou i karanga ki te kauwhau i te rongopai ki a ratou.
11 And setting sail from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothrace, and on the day following to Neapolis;
Heoi, ko te rerenga atu i Toroa, ka tika tonu matou ki Hamotarakia, a ao ake te ra ki Neapori;
12 and thence to Philippi, which is a chief city of the province of Macedonia, a colony. And we remained in the city some days.
I reira atu ki Piripai, ko te pa nui ia o taua wahi o Makeronia, he koroni no Roma: a noho ana matou i taua pa a taka noa etahi ra.
13 And on the sabbath-day we went forth out of the gate to a river-side, where was wont to be a place of prayer, and we sat down, and spoke to the women who had assembled.
Na i te ra hapati ka haere matou ki waho o te pa, ki te taha o tetahi awa, he whakaaro ko te wahi tera hei karakiatanga; a ka noho, ka korero ki nga wahine i haere tahi ake.
14 And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, who worshipped God, was listening; whose heart the Lord opened to attend to the things which were spoken by Paul.
Na ka whakarongo tetahi wahine, ko Riria te ingoa, he kaihoko papura, no te pa o Taiataira, he wahine karakia ki te Atua: he mea whakapuare tona ngakau e te Ariki, i rongo ai ia ki nga mea i korerotia e Paora.
15 And when she had been baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be a believer in the Lord, come into my house, and abide. And she constrained us.
A, no ka oti ia te iriiri, ratou ko tona whare, ka tohe ia, ka mea, Ki te mea kua whakaaro koutou he pono taku mahi ki te Ariki, tomo mai koutou, e noho ki toku whare. Na ka tohea matou e ia.
16 And it came to pass, as we were going to the place of prayer, that a certain bond-maid having a soothsaying spirit met us, who brought her masters much gain by soothsaying.
Na, i a matou e haere ana ki te wahi inoi, ka tutaki ki a matou tetahi kotiro, he wairua matakite nei tona, he nui te utu i riro i a ia ma ona rangatira, i a ia e poropiti ana:
17 This woman followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, who announce to you the way of salvation.
Ka whai ia i a matou ko Paora, ka karanga, ka mea, he pononga enei tangata na te Atua, na te Runga Rawa, e whakapuakina ana e ratou te ara o te ora ki a koutou.
18 And this she did for many days. But Paul, being much displeased, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And it came out immediately.
Na he maha nga ra i mea ai ia i tenei. Otiia ka hoha a Paora, ka tahuri, ka mea ki te wairua, Ko taku kupu tenei ki a koe i runga i te ingoa o Ihu Karaiti, puta mai i roto i a ia, A puta mai ana i taua haora ano.
19 But her masters seeing that the hope of their gain was gone, laid hold of Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the market-place to the rulers;
Otira, no te kitenga o ona rangatira kua kore he mahinga moni ma ratou, ka mau ki a Paora raua ko Hira, ka toia ki te kainga hoki ki nga rangatira;
20 and having brought them before the magistrates, said, These men are grievously disturbing our city, being Jews;
A, ka oti raua te mau ki nga kaiwhakawa, ka mea, Ko enei tangata, he Hurai nei, e tino whakararuraru ana i to tatou pa,
21 and they teach customs which it is not lawful for us Romans to receive or observe.
E whakapuakina ana hoki e raua he ritenga e kore nei e tika kia whakaaetia, kia mahia e tatou, e nga tangata o Roma.
22 And the multitude rose up together against them, and the magistrates, tearing off their clothes, commanded to beat them with rods;
Na ko te whakatikanga o te mano ki a raua; ka huhua o raua kakahu e nga kaiwhakawa, ka mea kia whiua ki te rakau.
23 and when they had laid on them many stripes, they cast them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely;
A, ka maha o raua whiunga e ratou, ka maka raua ki te whare herehere, ka tohutohutia te kaitiaki herehere, kia mau tana pupuri i a raua.
24 who having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
No te rironga i a ia o taua kupu, ka maka raua e ia ki te whare herehere i roto rawa, ka whakauria o raua waewae ki te rakau.
25 But at midnight Paul and Silas praying, were singing praises to God; and the prisoners were listening to them.
Na i waenganui po ka inoi a Paora raua ko Hira, ka waiata atu ki te Atua, me te whakarongo ano nga herehere ki a raua;
26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and all the doors were immediately opened, and the bands of all were loosed.
Na ka pa whakarere he ru nui, i ngarue ai nga turanga o te whare herehere: a puare tonu atu nga tatau katoa, whakakorokoroa ana nga herenga o nga tangata katoa.
27 And the jailer awakening out of sleep, and seeing the prison-doors open, drew his sword, and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.
A, ka oho te kaitiaki herehere i te moe, ka kite i nga tatau o te whare herehere e puare ana, na ka unu i tana hoari, ka mea ki te patu i a ia ano, hua noa kua oma nga herehere.
28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm, for we are all here.
Na kanui te reo o Paora ki te karanga, ka mea, Kauaka tetahi mea kino e meatia ki a koe: ina tonu hoki matou katoa.
29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas;
A karangatia ana e ia he rama, ka rere ki roto, ka haere wiri, ka takoto ki te aroaro o Paora raua ko Hira,
30 and having brought them out, he said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
Ka arahina hoki raua ki waho, ka mea, E hoa ma, me aha ka ora ai ahau?
31 And they said, Believe in the Lord Jesus, and thou wilt be saved, and thy household.
Ka mea raua, Me whakapono ki te Ariki, ki a Ihu Karaiti, ka ora ai koe, koutou tahi ko tou whare.
32 And they spoke to him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
Na ka korerotia te kupu a te Ariki ki a ia, ki nga tangata katoa hoki i roto i tona whare.
33 And he took them with him at that hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and he was immediately baptized, himself and all that belonged to him.
A ka mauria raua e ia i taua haora o te po, ka horoia o raua whiunga; na iriiria tonutia iho, a ia me ana tangata katoa.
34 And when he had brought them up into his house, he set food before them, and rejoiced with all his house, having become a believer in God.
A ka arahina raua e ia ki tona whare, ka whakaturia he tepu kai ki mua i a raua, a nui atu tona hari, me tona whare katoa, i te mea kua whakapono nei ki te Atua.
35 And when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, Release those men.
I te aonga ake ia o te ra, ka tonoa nga katipa e nga kaiwhakawa, i mea, Tukua aua tangata kia haere.
36 And the jailer reported these words to Paul: The magistrates have sent to release you; now therefore come out, and go in peace.
Na ka korerotia e te kaitiaki herehere enei kupu ki a Paora, ka mea, Kua tono tangata mai nga kaiwhakawa, kia tukua korua: tena ra puta mai, haere i runga i te rangimarie.
37 But Paul said to them, They have publicly beaten us uncondemned, although we are Romans, and have thrust us into prison; and now do they thrust us out secretly? No; but let them come themselves, and bring us out.
Na ko te kinga atu a Paora, Kua whiua nuitia nei maua e ratou, ahakoa kahore i whakawakia, he tangata hoki no Roma, a kua maka maua ki te whare herehere; a kei te maka pukutia atu maua aianei e ratou? Kahore rapea: engari ma ratou tonu e haere m ai, e whakaputa i a maua ki waho.
38 And the sergeants reported these words to the magistrates; and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans.
na ka korerotia enei kupu e nga katipa ki nga kaiwhakawa: a ka wehi, i to ratou rongonga no Roma raua;
39 And they came and besought them; and when they had brought them out, they entreated them to leave the city.
Na ka haere mai ratou, ka tohe ki a raua; a, ka oti raua te arahi ki waho, ka mea ratou kia haere atu raua i te pa.
40 And when they had come out of the prison, they went into the house of Lydia; and when they saw the brethren, they exhorted them, and departed.
A ka puta atu raua i te whare herehere, ka tomo ki te whare o Riria: a, no ka kite raua i nga teina, ka whakamarie i a ratou, ka haere.
